It depends on what they think on said orientation. If they're homophobic, they must be problematic to start with.

My personal experience is that I remained friends with the majority of them. Some were a little uncomfortable in the first place, but after a little time and chats we became even closer than before. I could be more authentic to myself and it showed in my behaviour, which became more confident and my friends felt attracted to that confidence.

Your true friends will accept you for who you are. the fakes ones will not. If they can't accept you for who you are, they were never your friends.

True friends won't care and just accept you for you.

Friends are there to support you. Even if their beliefs aren't the same as your own. Depending on the level of your friendship, they shouldn't. However if they do, it's okay. Everyone isn't taught to love unconditionally and support regardless.

If their friendships are real, they wont push you away. You are more than just someone who is defined by his sexual orientation ;)

If they are good, accepting friends, they won't. If they're fake friends who aren't willing to accept you for who you are and decide to leave you, you deserve better than them anyway.

True friends would never judge you for your sexual orientation, if they did push you away then you know you need to find new friends- those who love you for you.

If your friends love you for who you are and not any of your preferences, then no, they will not. You shouldn't be ashamed to tell anyone about your sexual orientation because, well, it's yours. Try to explain calmly, and most likely they'll accept you no matter what.

It depends on whether not they are good friends. When I came out as bisexual, most of my friends were supportive and accepted me. But there were one or two that reacted negatively, and I soon learned that they were people that I did not want to have in my life. If your friends are good, decent people, they will not push you away.
